Painting our Past: The African Diaspora in England
From 9 June, new portraits depicting six historic figures from the African diaspora with links to English Heritage properties will be unveiled at six sites for a new nationwide exhibition. Painting our Past: The African Diaspora in England will portray people connected with English Heritage sites and whose stories – many of which are not widely known – the charity now wants to bring to life and share with its visitors. From Roman Britain to the 20th century, the lives of these different individuals span the centuries and their portraits will shed new light on the long history of African people in England. Commissioned by English Heritage, the paintings will be displayed at the forts, abbeys, historic houses and barracks where these individuals lived, visited or worked.
